When I save my game as a standalone the title screens are being croped wrong, please help!

I run a 1920x1080 monitor and when I look into that title folder (before saving standalone) everything looks normal.

Hi Avery's Adventure. Did you go into the titlebank folder and resize all the menu screens to their respective sizes? It is a bit of work, but that's the only thing I can think of right now.

I can confirm this, as I have just tried it myself. All images made in gimp are 1920x1080 in the correct folder labelled correctly and are zoomed in or altered on the Z axis rather than the default position that would make the image flush to the edges of the screen. Seems to be on the Title, About, Lost and End. The watermark one seems to work OK though.

it's because there is a script that makes the images 10% larger as a fake animation
if you go to titlesbank/default/ and open the related script (i.e. about.lua for the about screen) you will see this code
SetSpriteSize ( g_sprAboutBackdrop, 110, 110 )
change it to
SetSpriteSize ( g_sprAboutBackdrop, 100, 100 )
then you will find some code that looks like this
SetSpritePosition ( g_sprAboutBackdrop, math.cos(g_posAboutBackdropAngle* 0.0174533)*5, math.sin(g_posAboutBackdropAngle*0.0174533)*5 )
you can comment this out (add -- to the start of the line) to make your image look correct

Thank you for that, it works as it should now. I also had to change the
to

just in case anyone else is wants to know.

I never noticed any animation on the menus or about screens, only on the next level loading screen, you can see it slowly zooming in and out.
I can say I have learnt something new about GG Classic today, but tbh i've never tried messing with the menu and loading screens before. So thanks again and much appreciated for the help.
